"SPECIALIZING IN COUPLES COUNSELING: It really hurts when the person you love is focused on "being right", rather than really getting you! Does your relationship create a deep pain or numbness in your heart? When we start to believe that our LEGITIMATE needs for connection will not be adequately met with our partner, it is easy to focus on our personal needs (at the expense of our partner's). A NORMAL human response to this is: nagging, petty repetitive fights, silent-treatments, numbing out, outbursts, being condescending, focusing on being right (rather than really listening). I DON'T PLAY REFEREE!"

"My work ranges from people who have experienced serious trauma, and suffer from depression and anxiety to those who just want to feel better in their lives and their relationships. I love working with couples. I know from my own experience of being married since 1990 that relationships need nurturing and intention. I love helping couples find intimacy that may have been lost. I really see my work as helping individuals and couples live their best life!"

"All issues stemming from severe trauma or abuse like anxiety, depression and various forms of confusion in the mind, pain in the heart disconnect us from life, from ourselves. I've been carefully, mindfully, patiently guiding others back to a deeper sense of connection, clarity and openness. For twenty years, I've been blending Eastern and Western techniques to achieve this. Visit my website: nickherzmark.org"

"Psychotherapy provides a unique space for you to explore your experience in life in a profoundly important way. In a culture that does not make space for "negative emotions", and idealizes independence, there is little room to get to know the parts of ourselves that we imagine others will not approve of. When we aren't in touch with all aspects of our humanity, effectively shutting out parts of our experience, we can find ourselves feeling confused, depressed and/or anxious, having trouble in relationships with others, not enjoying our work, having difficulty processing grief and loss, or struggling with issues related to our identity."

"Welcome. I do this work because I care deeply about healing through connection and compassionate relationships. I love working with people so they can learn about themselves, challenge old stories that may no longer serve, and ultimately live more authentic lives. Each of us is strong, powerful and beautiful, with unique gifts to offer this world. Yet sorrow is real, and having a safe and compassionate space to address grief, transition, relationship issues, trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, and questions about gender and sexuality is fundamental and healing."

"Inner life, intimacy, and the works of imagination that sustain us through drought are central in my clinical focus. In my practice I emphasize depth work, including insight and emotional experiencing, that may allow for problems that have not responded to more solution focused methods to resolve. A depth focus is particularly appropriate for people seeking more fulfilling relationships and rich inner lives in addition to the resolution of a concern; it may produce benefits including self-awareness, self-esteem, sense of life meaning, resolution of emotional issues, and deeper experiences of connection with others."

"I have a passion for working with teens and young adults, in particular those who identify on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, and who are trying to move through the many transitions that come with growing up in this often chaotic world. I work well with folks who feel out of place in this world, want to get rid of those self-critical thoughts, hold shame from past traumas, and overall want the ability to connect more deeply with oneself and others."

"I understand that choosing a therapist can be an intimidating and awkward process. I think personal referrals are usually the best but sometimes not possible. After thirty years of working as a therapist, I feel I've met and worked with all kinds of patients and helped many of them to change- feel differently about themselves, their relationships and their work. I see individuals, couples and women with new babies."

"Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, anger, trauma or relationship issues? I have over 30 years of experience working with people who feel burdened by these issues. I believe that previous disappointments and injuries can paralyze us, causing us to be frozen in the past. By understanding and unlocking these earlier difficulties, I have witnessed people opening themselves up to more rewarding life experiences and relationships."

"While we can't change painful experiences from the past, we can come to terms with them in order to better understand and resolve present challenges. We can work collaboratively to explore and change longstanding behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be barriers to experiencing a more fulfilling, meaningful life. Whether you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation, hoping to resolve painful issues from the past, or you're ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to help you define and achieve your goals."

"The experience of psychotherapy can be a transformative journey. Whether the journey is brief or longer depends upon the number of issues one wishes to explore and the length of their existence. In short-term therapy we collaborate to bring all aspects of a problem into awareness, clarify thoughts and feelings, and explore options for change. My approach to longer-term therapy is similar and ultimately produces a more fundamental shift in one's sense of self and relationship to others."

"I offer psychological support for addiction, codependency, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, major life transitions, and other mental health obstacles. With expertise in addiction and codependency, I provide treatment for chemical dependency, behavioral addiction, and related challenges in adults, adolescents, couples, and families. My strengths-based approach integrates positive psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and structural family therapy, to guide recovery on the individual, family, and communal levels. Historically, psychology has focused on symptom reduction. While this is important, I also work to utilize our unique personal strengths and insights to alleviate suffering and support human flourishing."

"I've been treating adults, couples, families, and groups in CA since 1993 (and earlier, children, teens, families, university employees, addictions and psychiatric illness, back east 1985-93). My post-grad training was in Berkeley at The Psychotherapy Institute (long-term psychodynamic) and UCB Counseling & Psychological Services (brief and long-term). Recently I worked at San Francisco Kaiser treating adults, young to elderly, with a full spectrum of mental health and medical concerns. Based on my clinical background, I tailor therapy to your present experience, future hopes, and past conditioning so you can move forward, potentially even be "self-therapeutic.""

I am committed to helping people use their struggles to grow and achieve happier, more fulfilling lives."
